- Before serving, give the slaw a good toss to redistribute the dressing.
- Serve chilled as a side dish or enjoy it as a light, flavorful meal on its own.
Tips:
- For a less spicy version, you can reduce the amount of red hot chili pepper or remove its seeds before chopping.
- If you prefer a vegetarian or vegan option, you can substitute the chicken broth cubes with vegetable broth.
- Ensure that your vegetables are evenly sliced to provide consistent texture and flavor throughout the slaw.
- Allow the slaw to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
